If it actually works, Iwouldn't mind tilting the camera if it cleared the flare. My question is whether it works only if the light source is polarized. For $10 you can't go too wrong, though, and I'd like to see where you can find even a small sheet of polarizing foil for $10. Does anybody know whether the Sling was decently made?
